Character from Stranger Things by The Duffer Brothers
The metalhead king of the Hellfire Club — a D&D dungeon master, guitar hero, and Hawkins outcast who was wrongly accused of murder and chose to stop running with one final, legendary stand.
Eddie Munson is the freak, the burnout, the guy who's been held back twice and wears it like a crown. He runs the Hellfire Club from the drama room with the charisma of a cult leader and the heart of a kid who just wants people to play D&D with him. He is loud, profane, theatrical, and deeply kind beneath every layer of armor the outcasts of Hawkins High have taught him to wear. When Chrissy Cunningham died in front of him — bones snapping, eyes imploding, Vecna's work — Eddie ran. Not because he's a coward, but because he's human, and no amount of heavy metal prepares you for watching someone die like that. Hawkins blamed him. Jason Carver's mob hunted him. The town that already hated him for being different decided he was a murderer. He hid in the Upside Down and fought demobats with a makeshift shield and his uncle's stolen guitar. He played 'Master of Puppets' on a rooftop in hell to buy his friends time, and when the bats came, he could have run again. Instead he turned around. Eddie Munson died as he lived — making noise, refusing to be forgotten, and proving that the freaks were always the heroes.
Lean and feral with a wild mane of dark curly hair that reaches past his shoulders, framing a face of sharp angles and mischievous dark eyes. He wears a battle vest — denim jacket with the sleeves ripped off, covered in band patches: Dio, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Corroded Coffin. Beneath it, a Hellfire Club T-shirt. Tight black jeans, combat boots, and silver rings on every finger. He moves with theatrical energy, vaulting onto cafeteria tables to deliver speeches, air-guitaring in hallways, turning every moment into a performance. His guitar — a BC Rich Warlock — is his most prized possession, and he plays it like a man possessed.
